What the Arbeiter VIII Say.
Edmund Deuse. editor of the Arbeiter
Zeitung, said that he had not yet found COM
posure to write his editorial sentiments. but
he could briefly outline them as they would
be in the next issue Of the paper. "This.',
he said, twill be the tenor of our article:
The history of the world is the tribunal of
the world and as Sheriff Matson shall live
in history so shall he stand arraigned by
popular sentiment for his cruel denial of the
few farewell words to the condemned. He
had plenty of time to allow them even as
much as twenty minutes each. but he refused
it and strangled Parsons as he spoke. Such
reflections as these will be the burden of
the editorial"
Newspaper Comment.
The Chicago News this morning says edi-
torially: "0ne paramount lesson of the
events which eliminated on the scaffold in
this city yesterday is the responsibility for
ones utterances. Freedom of speech is the
inaiienable birthright Of every American
citizen. But coupled with this right is also
the responsibility for its abuse. II man by
his speech incites to theft, or arson, or mur-
der, or bomb throwing, he must take the
consequences equally with the actual thief,
incendiary, murder or dynamiter. Anarch-
lists need TO lay this lesson to lheart, lest the
rashness of their mouths lead them in the
footsteps of Spies and his fellows"
The Times says: "For society, the effect
on the behavior of the living eonfreres Of
the exterminated murderers is the supreme
consideration. The condition Of the exist
ence of human society is that the wicked
shall perish. Either the murderer must be
exterminated or society must cease to exist
Either the murderous propaganda, called
Social Anarchism, that has invaded this re-
public from old world dens of crimes, to
preach the gospel Of assassination, must be
exterminated, or organized society will dis
appear. This is the alternative necessity
that confronts us. There is no middle term.
Either Social Anarchism must die or this
American republic must die"
The Inter Ocean says: Even upon those
alien irreconcilables, who are spawners and
hatchers of the sedition, this slowly reached
climax Cf yesterday cannot be without coed
erect. There was no hurry to make an aw-
full example, no effort to suppress evidence
that might show the extent of Anarchstic
conspirators or the number of Anarchstic
voters"
In Joliet Prison.
JOLIET, ILL.,. Nov. 12.-Schwab took fare
well of his wife and two children in the
Cook county Jail in Chicago this morning
Mrs. Fielden and her little ones came later,
and had an affecting interview with her
sturdy husband. The two convicts left Chi
cago for Joliet at 1O2 O'Clock this afternoon
A few acquaintance of Fielden were at the
station, and few idlers gathered around
the car in which the two convicts were
placed. But that was all. Out of the win
dows Of the train which bore the two Anar-
chists to the penitentiary, very few were
seen at the depots along the route, and the
deputies who had the prisoners in charge ex-
perienced no difficulty whatever during the
trip. The train reached the depot in Joliet
at 2.30 o'clock, and the convicted Anarchists
were marched up the graveled route to the
penltentlary. They seemed to bear up
gamely and each wore bland smile when
they were seated in the warden's Office. I'm
medlately after their arrival, Rev. j. j. Wal
ter approached them and endeavored to
learn from them their particular religious
creeds. Neither of the men seemed to re-
ceive the reverend gentleman with any de-
gree of friendship, and answered him in a
n0nchalant manner. Their conversation was
of short duration, and few moments after
the chaplain left the room, Warden Nc
Claughrey nodded to the prisoners, and they
were escorted into an inner room, where
they were stripped of their clothing and
treated to bath. Fielden seemed to enjoy
it and frequently smiled while being rubbed
by the attendant. After the bath was over
the prisoners were given striped shirts,
which is the garb of the convicts, and were
told to try them on. They were easily fitted,
and were then taken to the barber shop,
where they were shorn of their long boards
and had their hair cropped short. Fielden
Ad ma m
when his long beard was being cut off, and
when told that everything was completed,
sighed deeply as he looked at himself in a
small mirror which hung in front of him on
Receiving Officer w. B. Luke gave them
their numbers. Fielden was assigned to cell
S526 and Scnwab 1927. They were then
taken to the weighing and measuring room,
where Fielden tipped the scales at
100, pounds. and measured five feet
weighed 100 pounds, and measured
five feet nine and a quarter inches. Dep
uty Warden Garyin here approached Schwab
and Fielden, and, whispering to them in a
low tone of voice, pointed to an inner room,
into which the convicted Anarchists quickly
stepped. The room is called the court s0li-
tary, in which Fielden and Sehwab will re-
main until Monday morning, and will then
be assigned to work in the penitentiary
shops. Warden McCloughrey was unable to
y
signed, but said that whatever 1t may be it
will be easy, owing to their feeble condition.
He said, however, that in the course of a
few months. when their physical condition
would become stronger, they would in all
probability be assigned to some labori0us
work. After the prisoners were confined in
court solitary, Representatives Burke and
Schelllng put in an appearance at Warden
McCloughrey's Office They had come to
offer few words of consolation to the con-

Fielden offered his hand with smile aud
chatted cheerfully, while Schwab acted as If
under the influence of some opiate. His eyes
looked dim and his frame emaciated. The
visitors remained but short time, and
Schwab and Fielden were again locked up,
An enterprising museum was in town
anxious to procure the suits worn by the con-
Vlcted men, but was told that the wish could
not be gratifed and the manager seemed
very crestfallen. He will, however, make
an effort to procure them through the intlu'
ence of some prominent politician, whose
name he refused to diyulge.
